...reference to your review of Andrew Turnbull's book Thomas Wolfe [Feb. 9]: As Tom Wolfe's brother, I feel I knew him better than anyone living. You refer to Tom's attempt to "pin down the Great American Novel" as "never getting beyond his barbaric yawp." I feel sure that hundreds of thousands and more-who have read Tom's "Promise of America" and "Credo," both in You Can't Go Home Again-would disagree. This same multitude of readers of Tom's books would also take issue with...
...going into teaching or using their valuable talents in various civil libertarian causes. For many, the new lure of the law is a career devoted to tackling the country's social problems, not protecting private clients. Last year only one-quarter of the editors of the Harvard Law Review went directly into private practice; only 10% plan to do so this year.

One City Councillor remarked: "You take the same old set of data, run it through the same old machine, and you're going to get the same old answer." The anti-belt forces are also handicapped in that State agencies--which the City regards as stand-ins for the DPW--will...
...second part of the review may be more fruitful for the City. During the 20 years rhetoric have been spent fighting "any and all Inner Belts." The City preferred not to study ways of minimizing the impact of a road; they regarded such efforts as an admission of the Belt's inevitability. Now, for the first time, an intensive effort may be made to help Cambridge come to terms with an Inner Belt...
